Heart of the Desert Vineyard & Tasting Room

Southwest regionLocated in sunny, southern New Mexico near Alamogordo, Heart of the Desert Vineyard is the home of the original Pistachio Blush wine. The tasting room is found in the delightful gift shop at Eagle Ranch Pistachios.

Our award-winning wines include Muscat, Cabernet Sauvignon, and the signature wine, Pistachio Blush. This family farm is a totally self-contained agribusiness that produces premium pistachios. It was a natural to add a vineyard to the operation. A "Must Stop" tourist attraction, this visitor center offers a gift shop, art gallery, a picnic area with RV and truck parking, and free year round guided tours.

Open Mon-Sat, 8 am to 6 pm, and Sunday 9 am to 6 pm (wine tasting all hours Mon-Sat and noon to 6 pm on Sun).

Proprietors: George and Marianne Schweers
